15. When Opportunity Knocks

In December of 2016, we were still wondering what was going on, as it had only been a few weeks since our bad surprise that “our embryos” had been pulled from the adoption agency. Our social worker with Beginnings let us know that she would like to present our adoption profile to one other couple who had two embryos they didn’t feel they could bring to birth with their circumstances.

“Sure, why not.” both Rusty and I decided. We knew there would be lots of steps along the way to continue to process what we felt like God was prompting in our hearts. We knew we had been led down this way, so might as well try the door. So we did.

And it was locked. Within a couple weeks, right before Christmas, we were informed that this couple didn’t feel we were the right match for reasons we don’t know.
